Savage Worlds Bug Reports

Racial edges are missing separator for the Edges tab. They end up showing under a Professional header.

Here's what I've added in my own files:
Code: 
  <thing id="edgSRSepRacial" name="– Racial Edges –" compset="Edge" isshowonly="yes">
    <tag group="EdgeType" tag="Racial"/>
    <tag group="Helper" tag="ModHeEdge" name="ModHeEdge" abbrev="ModHeEdge"/>
    <tag group="Helper" tag="ModLeEdge" name="ModLeEdge" abbrev="ModLeEdge"/>
    <tag group="Helper" tag="ModNoEdge" name="ModNoEdge" abbrev="ModNoEdge"/>
    <tag group="Helper" tag="ModSeEdge" name="ModSeEdge" abbrev="ModSeEdge"/>
    <tag group="Helper" tag="ModVeEdge" name="ModVeEdge" abbrev="ModVeEdge"/>
    </thing>
 
Official Companions break whenever Setting Rules (multiple languages etc) are selected. Issues such as no gear, no weapons, no Edges occur. As soon as Setting Rules are removed everything returns to normal.

The problem does not appear to happen when using Third Party user files.
 
All - It was the Sundered Skies data files that were causing the duplicate Outsider to appear even when those weren't selected. The copy of those files have several bugs that need to be fixed.

Zarlor - Thanks for the help offer. I'm usually out in Metairie once or twice a week. I'll kepe your help offer in mind if I can't debug the Sundered Skies data files in the next couple of weeks.

TCArknight - It wasn't a one major and one minor Outsider.
 
GIT, could you be more specific? Which Companion file is being affected? I can select all of the official companion books and multiple languages and everything seems to work fine.
 
CapedCrusader - that makes no sense. All the official companions are being affected whenever any of the official Setting Rules options are selected. This is happening to me on my Mac and to my friend on his PC so it has nothing to do with the type of computer being used.

As soon as any of the options are selected ALL armory, gear, and powers are missing.

I was mistaken about Edges.

Click to expand...

Perhaps attach a portfolio with the options active that you have this happening with.
 
The Hand Weapons tab in the editor is missing the Special Traits tag chooser (like on the Ranged Weapons tab) for adding Weapon tags to a handheld/natural weapon.
 
Hi CapedCrusader - I finally managed to get my browser to let me upload a sample file. Sorry this took so long. Hopefully this will show the issues I am having with the Official Companions when using the Settings Rules options.

I just installed HeroLab on my new computer. After re-downloading all the updates and game systems I tried opening the Savage Worlds system. I keep getting an "Unrecoverable infinite loop detected" error every time I open it and every time I try to change anything.
 
I've created a video that shows when you're selecting any of the Settings options in the Savage Worlds that describes what The GIT! is explaining as issues. The character was created with specific Settings Rules turned on but any or all will end up with the same results.

At 2:53, I turn off the Setting Rules and elements like Arcane can now be chosen which were not available when they were turned on. With any Settings Rules turned on there is a conflict somewhere that's preventing users from completing arcane spell users or selecting/choosing other aspects of the character. There are other issues like the Companion books not showing accurate information or missing information entirely when Settings Rules are turned on.

Another issue we've found, when picking Spear for range, in the SW Deluxe Edition handbook, the damage is listed as Str+d6, in Hero Lab, range damage is listed as Str+d4 which is incorrect.

This has been an issue for months now with no fix. It's either create characters without Setting Rules with no issues or do not use Hero Lab when using Setting Rules. Somewhere along the way, an update broke Setting Rules.

Well, the thing is... I go through the exact same steps and it does not duplicate for me here. I tried three times. I also opened that Test.por and I can't make the arcane powers disappear. The reason I have not addressed it is because I have not been able to duplicate the problem, and I tried to when this was reported before. And I will keep trying.

One issue Hero Lab can have is that it is open-ended and flexible. As such it is susceptible to issues related to outside modifications. And my Setting files are as guilty of this as anyone's. But that is the first place I look when I run into issues relating to differences between installations.

Now, one thing I see that is different between our systems is that I do not have the Achtung! Cthulhu setting loaded. Do me a favor and remove/rename the files associated with that Setting and see if the problem persists. You can always put them back/re-download them later. (If this is a concern, renaming by changing the .user file to something like .usex temporarily might be preferable, and don't forget any .1st files also.)

But tell me - if you re-open that test file right now, and enable any of the Setting Rules, do the powers still disappear from the selection list on you? I opened here and it seems to work fine. Argh! I wish this would break for me so I can fix it!
 
OK, hang on.
I just noticed something odd.
When you first select Fantasy Companion, Multiple Languages, and Replace with Athletics, and hit OK, the Group and Faction windows appear displaying Nationality and MOS. These look like they are from the WWII Setting file. There is no reason for those to be active. And that does not happen on my end.

It looks like your .user files got scrambled somehow. I would say remove all .user and associated .1st files, check to see that the those panels don't re-appear like that, and then re-download and re-install them one by one.

Hey CapedCrusader,

Based on your suggestions, I see the error that you've pointed out. By removing the custom-made Achtung Cthulhu user file, it appears to have restored full functionality to Hero Lab as far as I can tell.
 
I think Endtransmission was the author on that file so maybe he can take a closer look at the file if you PM him about it and see if he can figure out where the problem is on it.
 
Okay, 1st SWADE bug. Elderly in SWADE dose not reduce Strength and Vigor instead it gives a -1 to Agility, Strength, and Vigor rolls. SWADE p24
